The Odds of Getting Even was such a fun read!! I loved the premise of this book and the story lived up to the hype. Charlie and Jean are both interesting and hilarious. Jean’s personality is bold and adventurous and I loved getting to live vicariously through her as someone who is definitely not adventurous, haha!

Both Charlie and Jean are characters with such strong, identifiable personalities. I loved how they both felt like themselves throughout the story, even when others wanted them to present as someone different. They’re such real people that completely jumped off the page.

This story was easy to read and funny, full of awkward moments and miscommunications that made you laugh out loud. I loved Charlie’s longtime friend Mugsy and her ability to stand up for Charlie as well as herself. It’s so heartwarming to see those friendships that feel like families.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and St. Martin’s Griffin for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
